Service Providers for Tongue Scrapping for Fungus
A tongue scraping test for fungus involves collecting a sample from the tongue to check for fungal infections like oral thrush (caused by Candida species). The process is simple: a healthcare provider uses a sterile tool to gently scrape the surface of the tongue. No special preparation is needed. The test is typically painless, though mild discomfort may occur. Results help diagnose fungal infections, often indicated by white patches or redness. Conditions like dry mouth or a weakened immune system can affect results. After the test, treatment may be prescribed based on the findings, such as antifungal medications.
